• Experience preparing cost plans, estimates, and lifecycle commercial reporting
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Commercially astute, proactive, and solutions focused
• Ability to work independently while thriving in a team environment
• Eligible for SC clearance or willing to obtain it

• Join a highly respected consultancy with strong career progression pathways
• Hybrid working model with flexibility and work-life balance
